oops ! bac does exactly that. or rather, it has unique
ways of deriving types of related concepts ( all nouns
). however, their definitions are quite general, so
meanings can vary quite widely :

for example, from a basic noun c1vc2, you can form a
new noun vc1c2 which has isolates the typical place or
area where the verb C1vc2 takes place

|gaj| eye, |agj| theatre
|seb| blood, |esb| heart
|bac| language, |abc| country/nation
|terak| coal, |aterk| coal mine
|ler| small pool, |elr| basin, cup
|rak| friendship, |ark| pub, bar

likewise, the verbal form C1wvc2 looks towards the
future

|Per| be, |Pwer| be about to/start being ( meaning
depends on the complement verb's mood )
|Gaj| look, |Gaj| anticipate
|Car| act, do, |Cwar| prepare

as you apply this, polysemies arise, but i rather like
them ( remind me a bit of sanskrt compounds with
multiple interpretations—indeed i might make them a
vital part of the poetry when i come to develop that )
